I nominate Loren Huynh for Starfish Teacher of the Week for her unwavering dedication to her students. Her impeccable ability to make lasting connections with all her students is due to her classroom management style, which creates a fun and creative classroom environment. Her students know that she is their champion from the beginning to the end of the school year. Not only is she an exemplary teacher, but she also continually challenges herself to be a better version of herself each year. She has conquered the world of ELA and is now tackling a new challenge this year, the world of math. She is an example to all of us of the importance of continuing to learn and grow in the best profession: education. I am incredibly proud of her this year and know that her students will be all the better for having had the opportunity to know her.  

STARFISH TEACHER 

My pick for starfish teacher is Jacqueline Rivera! Mrs. Rivera goes out of her way for every teacher and holds students to a high expectation in every regard. She understands that every student must be given a chance to succeed and she helps us bridge the gap between Spanish speaking students and parents and teachers. She is always ready to jump into a meeting at a moment's notice, cares about all of her colleagues and is willing to stay after school any time you need her. Her translations are concise and accurate while maintaining a friendly and professional tone. The success of our school would not be possible without Mrs. Rivera and her translation skills. She goes above and beyond, showing up at parent conferences, helping all students, and loving them above all else. 

Love always, 

Ms. Huynh
